That's frustum culling and it's always active in unity.

why does robot kyle need this many dependencies and can I just ignore them

[gray frigate]

Most of these are just the built-in modules

[tepid narwhal]

so yes I can ignore them

[gray frigate]

i'm kind of surprised it's explicitly listing all of these

If you only need the model, then you dont need any dependencies, a model should just be a FBX file that you can just select before importing the whole package, but if your only selecting the model that will not include any prefabs, animations, or custom materials/shaders it might be using

Is it easier to change a 2D project to 2.5D or a 3D project to 2.5D in terms of the basic settings required to display the effect (generally speaking)?

My assumption is 3D but I just figured I'd ask.

[copper gust]

none are really harder than others

the only difference between the 2d and 3d projects are some different project settings

its all 3d

Hi guys!
Is it possible to get some document from Unity Asset Store about successful payment for my sold assets?

Because I see only pdf file with invoice, but there are no any check/transaction protocol (swift protocol)/any other proof from Unity side about that payment

My bank needs such document.

I've sent a ticket via support forum, but Unity team ignores me almost 2 weeks, and I don't see any alternative ways to reach out to Unity support team, no online chat, no emails, no Telegram bot or something.

[astral ore]

in Short You Can't

[ocean pumice]

An invoice is already a document for successful payment in your direction from Unity. If your bank would want something from point Unity asset store internal payment to your account invoice, then they gotta ask Unity, not you.

[next magnet]

Im not sure about invoice, because it was generated before transaction, even before "in progress" stage. Afterwards it could be failed, for example, so that document is not a prove of successful payment

It doesn't work like this, in our country. There is strong financial monitoring and banks need a lot of proofs of sources of your profits

They will not reach out to Unity

[ocean pumice]

Well, then your country lives in a dream world I guess. You are not allowed to access that sensitive information inside Unity

If they want it, they can take your invoice and based on that request it from unity as a legal instance

[next magnet]

And my problem is that I forgot to change my payment info, and Unity has sent me money to my old bank account, which was changed a few months ago. So that money was stuck on some special account, to redirect that money to my new account, the bank needs swift protocol

[next magnet]

Im not allowed but bank is allowed? Thats strange too

[ocean pumice]

well, than you need to get the information from your old "special" bank. Unity most likely wont fix your personal failure there

[next magnet]

That was the same bank but another account

They can open that account and check that transaction but only if I provide swift protocol from Unity side

[ocean pumice]

thats nonsense. If they are the same bank, they have some transaction information on their side

[next magnet]

I dont need any fix from Unity, only some check or protocol

[next magnet]

I know, but I cannot do anything with that

[ocean pumice]

Yeh, thats out of my common sense scope, I guess. They are the same bank you received the payment for the same legal person.

[next magnet]

Even without this incident, in our country its often situation when bank asks some document of approval of your money sources

[pearl oyster]

You'll have to wait for the Unity customer service to reply. You can't get that information by yourself. They're not "ignoring" you, a queue of several weeks for a reply is expected

[next magnet]

Ok thanks

[ocean pumice]

Ill hope you get the support you need then. Weird system you got over there, sorry for your hassle

[next magnet]

Im also bored of that strange bank system in our country, especially in that largest bank in Ukraine. They increased the power of financial monitoring recently, so that problem is only one of potential problems with payments to ukrainian assets developers in case if they dont get some transaction proof

for example, 3 months ago they just closed all USD/EUR bank accounts of all private entrepreneurs.
and created new ones. that was very "cool", especially for PE's who had their old accounts written in tons of contracts and invoices, so that was pretty easy to forget to edit that info in all that places.

[ocean pumice]

Oh boy and very interesting, but as its starting to get off topic, Ill step out before we continue 🙂

[sly lake]

If Unity makes payments to you, you'd create your own invoice to Unity for your own administration. Unless Unity provides you with a reverse invoice.

The only real "proof of payment" is the actual bank transaction.

[next magnet]

Ive already sent that invoice to my bank and its not enough for them

[pulsar finch]

i just want to ask a specific question am i able to import an fbx file with multiple animations? well i know i can but how do i cycle through the animations

[woeful spear]

Soft Shadows checkbox doesn't seem to make any difference. Same for Cascade counts. No effect.

[charred fog]

Make sure the current quality is the one set for use in Editor in settings as default

[sly lake]

You need more than one cascade for good quality shadows. IIRC I scale between 2 and 4 depending on quality setting.

3 is "normal"

[woeful spear]

I just checked, cascade doesn't seem to work.

[sly lake]

They also need to be configured right

[woeful spear]

I'm following the tutorial and it said select the "HighQuality" Rendering settings in Assets folder as that's default.

[silent mica]

What do you mean by cycling through? Looking at them in editor somewhere or playing in engine like you would in a game?

[pulsar finch]

i mean like playing them

so for example when i press a button that animation happens or i press another button and another animation happens

if not i have a work around although its harder so thats why i am asking here

[charred fog]

First of all make sure that you are affecting any changes, that would indicate that current settings are indeed in use.

Because might be missing a step assigning current configuration as an active pipeline

[silent mica]

Animator is probably what you want https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/Manual/AnimationOverview.html
I would try looking this up on YouTube to get started.

[pulsar finch]

ok

[silent mica]

Assuming your animations imported without issues, Animator can cycle through animations automatically. For input control you would need to do a small amount of scripting.

[pulsar finch]

i will check it out

[woeful spear]

These two options are working:

[charred fog]

Cool, now follow what Wolfos said.

Tutorials usually have download files, might want to compare settings with them.

[sly lake]

Four cascades is a bit much. I found that three is the sweet spot for normal graphics cards.

[woeful spear]

I'm actually following Unity's tutorial, so all assets are provided by them. I didn't change anything else. I only change what they ask. Anyway, I changed Cascade to 3 and dragged sliders here and there and sadly no effect. I must be doing something wrong. The tutorial doesn't metnion any details yet. It just said enable soft shadow checkbox and increase cascade as it will increase quality. That's it.

5. Enable Soft Shadows. This property enables extra processing to make your shadows look smoother.

6. Find the Cascades Count property. This controls how many shadow cascades are used in your project. These help address pixelation of shadows close to the Camera that are created by the Directional Light (perspective aliasing). The more cascades you use in a scene, the less the shadows are affected by perspective aliasing.

[sly lake]

Well if it does nothing then it's not using these settings

[woeful spear]

Do these warnings have anything to do with it?

[charred fog]

Check if light source configured properly as well

[sly lake]

Might be overridden by a volume? Idk how URP works

[sly lake]

No, but that's something you'll need to solve too.

[woeful spear]

How can I confirm it?

[sly lake]

It's not using these settings. Otherwise you'd have seen a massive change in resolution with four cascades.

[charred fog]

Ah, that might do it. You might be watching shadows that didn't fit in the map

Use recommended resolution

[sly lake]

Or don't use point light shadows at all

Depending on whether you have a directional light source or not

In an interior situation without a sun, using point light shadows is fine. In an exterior situation I'd recommend turning them off.

[woeful spear]

I think these warnings appear because the Unity version tutorial used to make these assets/project is not exactly same as mine. Both are version 6.0 but not exactly same.

[ocean pumice]

your shadow atlas size is a combined versino of all shadow maps. If you set those shadow maps to be as big as the atlas, then it will run into this error. Use your URP asset to check on the lighting and additional lighting shadow atlas size

[sly lake]

No, it's appearing because the resolution your point light shadows are rendering at, combined with the amount you're trying to render, doesn't fit in the 2048x2048 atlas you allocated.

Solutions:

• lower shadow map resolutions
• increase atlas resolution
• decrease the amount of shadow casting lights

[woeful spear]

Right now I'm clueless as I'm just following tutorial instructions. So I don't know about atlas settings.

Not to mention I've not watched any console tutorials yet.

Bro I have a Unity WebGL game. I need to make two scenes and switch them with a button that part is easy. But the real challenge is when someone opens my game link on a mobile browser, it must automatically open in FULLSCREEN by itself no tap, no click, no user interaction. Just open link → fullscreen game. But browsers keep blocking fullscreen without user interaction. How do I bypass this and force fullscreen in browser?

[sly lake]

That's impossible. It's a safety feature.

[plain dagger]

Perhaps if installed as a pwa it would work?

[sly lake]

Making it the size of the browser window is the most you can do, automatically.

[sly lake]

Seems to be true

But only for PWAs that are installed.

[maiden mortar]

Let me open with u bro, this is a task i got if i did this I'll land my first unity job, so as you said this is not possible, I should go with pwa right?

[sly lake]

Check with whoever assigned the test. Companies typically like it when you go back and ask questions, since you'd do that in a proper working situation as well.

Making a PWA, I think, is out of the scope of the test.

[maiden mortar]

u r right

[sly lake]

In fact they could be testing your communication skills by assigning an impossible task 😉

[woeful spear]

Any way to reset a particular settings panel to default values?

[sly lake]

Is there a reset button under the three dots on the top right?

[ocean pumice]

And the higher you set the distance, the worse the shadows will look

[woeful spear]

Yeah I read about it

[woeful spear]

Nope. I guess some panels have it.

[sly lake]

You can configure cascades to resolve that

I have mine set to 2500 on the highest two quality presets.
This one uses four cascades, the first three are "normal" (couple hundred meters), the last cascade is super big and only renders terrain shadows.

[dusty pulsar]

guys how do i make a sandbox object spawning system

[sly lake]

Can you be more specific?

[dusty pulsar]

who

[sly lake]

Well, I'm not asking myself to be more specific 😄

[dusty pulsar]

welp, you know garry's mod?

[sly lake]

I do, yes.

[dusty pulsar]

There's a spawn menu where you can spawn things

i want that im making a sandbox game too

[sly lake]

Sounds like you need to learn some more Unity basics.

In general you'd have your "things" as prefabs. You'd make a list of these, then Instantiate the prefab.

[dusty pulsar]

is there like a free system of that im lazy

[sly lake]

This really is very basic stuff. If you want to make games you're going to have to do some learning.

[dusty pulsar]

but i dont want to learn for half a year like i did with Lua

[inland river]

Pay someone to do it for you then.

[sly lake]

Alternatively just buy Garry's Mod. Cheaper 😄

[dusty pulsar]

i do have it

[dusty pulsar]

im broke

[inland river]

If you have nothing to contribute 👋

[woeful spear]

That warning is fixed after changing resolution settings. But soft shadow still didn't work. But I found something in individual light settings: By default, it was "Hard", I guess I'd need to turn all of them to "Soft" if I want to use the Soft Shadows checkbox in Render pipelines settings? It seems to work. But I'm not sure that's the core issue.

Shadows are soft now and cascade is also working.

[sly lake]

Yeah, I think that's it.

[woeful spear]

I think something may have changed in default Unity settings after those tutorials were created.

[sly lake]

2048 for a point light is really nuts though 😄

[woeful spear]

Yeah I'd have to read more about it for optimization. I'd leave it as it is for now.

[sly lake]

You'd need to test on target hardware to find the right settings.

But shadows are expensive

[woeful spear]

Shadows are very important for me in the games I play. I prefer shoft shadows with reasonable quality.

[sly lake]

Yeah, need to find the right balance between visuals and performance.

[woeful spear]

Yeah I know, FPS drops with it

Along with Lighting and Reflections

[sly lake]

Deferred lighting isn't so expensive. Reflections only if you're rendering them in real-time.

[woeful spear]

I'm not sure if you've played games like GTA 5. I wonder if those reflections on cars are real time or not. (With ray tracing OFF).

They're definitely not static as they change when car moves.

[sly lake]

Many games use real-time reflection probes. I know at least in HDRP this is practically unsupported.

As in, it performs so poorly it can't ever be used.

[woeful spear]

This can be done without hardware ray-tracing?

[sly lake]

There's also screen space reflections, which is a bit easier to use but artifacty

[woeful spear]

Enabling hardware ray tracing impacts performance by a huge amount.

[sly lake]

Still much cheaper than real-time reflection probes in HDRP 😅

I played around with ray traced reflections but ended up going for screen space only. I don't like the sharp look of them.

[woeful spear]

I want to start with HDRP as I tend to make realistic scenes. But I eventually started with URP for now.

Most of the Unity tutorials are focused on URP

[sly lake]

URP is a lot simpler.

HDRP is a constant fight to keep performance above the target.

[pulsar finch]

am i able to have physics interaction with a character controller? so for example if i push against an object it would move

[sly lake]

No, but I believe you could hack this by adding a rigidbody that follows it (rigidbody.position) and setting the collision matrix so that this new RB doesn't collide with the character.

[pulsar finch]

ok thanks

by the way should i make it a rigidbody instead to save me all the coding? because i am not really able to code that it

[sly lake]

It's very difficult to make a Rigidbody-based character controller.

[pulsar finch]

i already have one but some people say its worse

i used yeahlowflicker's code

[sly lake]

If you want something quick, use CharacterController. I think the "AAA method" is root motion + rigidbody with a bunch of hackery on top. Though I've never set this up from scratch.

[pulsar finch]

oh well

[sly lake]

Very easy to end up with thousands of lines of code for movement either way 😉

[grand shale]

Thanks a lot, Mr. Law-abiding. You get a cake as your prize.

[gray frigate]

you can also get quite nice-looking results with the URP – good PBR materials go a very long way

i wish the URP let you use physically-bsed light units

they make it so much easier to reason about light

[plain dagger]

I guess its because urp is not intended to be super realistic but having alternate units would be nice

[gray frigate]

i dunno if it uses inverse-square falloff or something more like BiRP's falloff

if it's not the former, accurate light units wouldn't be very helpful anyway

[plain dagger]

Does it change between Complex Lit/Lit and Simple Lit?

[azure grove]

not sure with the falloff, but Simple lit is literally just NdotL Lambert + Blinn type thing

[keen lantern]

URP uses inverse square, but like in HDRP, you can get non-inverse square if you limit the range too much.

Hey
Please unity hub refuses to add the editor but the editor is install and I don't want to locate an editor if not i won't be able to add modules.
I almost try everything
Any ideas
🙏

And i don't see any error from the log

I just see info and debug from yhe log

[silent mica]

Did you install the editor through Hub btw? I don't think you can install modules through Hub if you didn't install it through it.

[jovial shadow]

Yes, I'm installing through the hub but at the end the hub says installation failed but when I check the install path the editor is install

[silent mica]

Did you retry it?

[jovial shadow]

Yes until I install 3 same editor version in different location

Sometimes it will create another folder, sometimes it will override i think

[gray frigate]

ah, cool

i've hacked shaders to switch from legacy to inverse-square falloff before

not the worst experience, but also a pain

(that gave me a more accurate preview of my baked lighting, which is using inverse-square)

[real patrol]

Hi, is anyone getting this warning lately?

[signal vigil]

Is anyone familiar with the Unity recorder package? It has worked nicely for me so far but now I am running into issues that probably stem from Time.deltaTime. I wrote a small function that rotates a gameObject:

Quaternion DampedOscillatorRotation(ref float displacement, float velocity)
{
    displacement = Mathf.Repeat(displacement + 180f, 360f) - 180f;
    
    float force = -_spring * displacement - _damp * velocity;
    velocity += force * Time.deltaTime;
    displacement += velocity * Time.deltaTime;

    return Quaternion.Euler(0f, 0f, displacement);
}```
This function is called in a coroutine. It works perfectly fine until I try to record it, then the rotation goes crazy and never slows down. Since another piece of code that handles second order dynamics also stops working I guess it's the deltaTime.

Any ideas how to fix this? The recorder package is really useful but this kills it completely. 🙁

[vivid cedar]

Called how/where in a coroutine? What are you doing with the result?

Since this seems to be simulating a physical phenomenon the best way to make it work consistently is to use FixedUpdate or equivalent (WaitForFixedUpdate in a coroutine)

that, of course, will lead to stutteriness issues so you'd need to also interpolate the results, which would happen naturally if using a Rigidbody with interpolation on and moving it via MoveRotation

[signal vigil]

I am basically recreating the effect of ballatros hand cards as seen here (https://youtu.be/Alwy-TH0WzE?si=ycwXTHziL4oT-nAj&t=217). No physics, just a coroutine that starts when I pick up a card and stops when I put it down.

[fiery needle]

Yes, i do but when I try to do it, I freeze.

The orders confuse me.

[vivid cedar]

but the way you're doing is spring-joint-like

you are doing a physics simulation here

even if you're not using the physics engine

Why not use something more predictable/consistent like sine/cosine

the issue with what you have now is that it's a feedback loop - it's a 2nd degree function that depends on its own output in one frame for the output in the next frame. By the very nature of those functions, they will not work consistently without a fixed framerate

you can add some noise in with a noise function if you like

[gray frigate]

The Recorder can cause a single zero-second-long frame, which can cause some funny behavior

but i don't see anything here that would break under that condition

I'm guessing you're just seeing bad behavior when the framerate changes

When you're doing a damped oscillator like this, there's a critical timestep above which it starts to misbehave

It's possible that you're running into that

https://paste.myst.rs/xdugu59n

the video in that comment was very helpful for understanding all of this

[gray frigate]

To test for this, try dividing deltaTime by a constant (like 10 or something)

see if turning on the recorder still causes issues

[potent moss]

Im buying a laptop to make high end desktop games in unity, what specs should I go after? Like is the intel core ultra series better since its more suited for workstations or should I get a cpu more suited for gaming?

[vivid cedar]

Im buying a laptop to make high end desktop games in unity
Not gonna happen really.

A good rule of thumb is to get a machine that can handle the highest settings for the game and then add 20% frame budget.

If you want to make high end desktop games you basically need a commercial high end workstation desktop system.

You can still make the game with a weaker machine but you won't be able to test the highest settings effectively

[peak mountain]

I have a desktop already and with how lovely the weather has been dont want to be tethered to my desk anymore, is there really not any decent laptops that could run it?

[vivid cedar]

"gaming laptop" is basically an oxymoron.

You can certainly do some development on the laptop but at lower quality settings and plan to do the high end testing on the desktop

in that case I would worry more about portability and battery life than the actual specs of the thing

Basically it will depend on your "low" graphics setting more than anything.

Target "low" quality mode for doing dev on the laptop and worry about the high fidelity stuff on the desktop

you'd get more value out of doing that than trying to run it on high on the laptop

[strange moon]

Get a long charger cable, duh

Funny, that's the video my second order dynamics script comes from. I can save that script by checking for if time.deltaTime == 0f, but the oscillator is not fixed as easy. Thank you though, I will continue investigating that route. Really ennoying!

is a 5070 ti in a laptop the same chip they put in a desktop?

[vivid cedar]

it is not

the dream gaming laptops try to sell of "Desktop quality but in a laptop package" is not real.

[peak mountain]

It makes no sense to me why they have the same name if they are different tbh pretty misleading

$5700 dollar laptops on amazon, core ultra 9 64 gb ram and 5090 gpu is taxxed as hell if thats a watered down gpu

[stuck flower]

Welcome to capitalism

[balmy kettle]

That is probably very much intentional.
The names are just info about what generation and what tier within that generation they are though and don't mean much else.

[peak mountain]

So what should I be looking at to compare the performance between the laptop/desktop 5090s?

can get the exact same laptop with a 5070ti for $1200 less cant imagine the boost in performance is worth it lol

You'd have to find benchmarks for the specific GPU if you want info about it. But also https://discord.com/channels/489222168727519232/1249155543264657408 for pc spec related discussions

@gray frigate @vivid cedar thank you for your help. This was recorded using the recorder package.

In the second order dynamics class switched from updating in Update to updating in FixedUpdate, this solved the issue there.

For the oscillator I switched to FixedUpdate as well. I also had to adjust the spring/damp values as this was the error. My set of values worked for the coroutine as it were, but not for the framerate with the recorder.

At least that's what I think are the issues. In both cases the changed length of deltaTime during recording seemed to mess with the script.

how does cinemachine work in multiplayer projects?

do you need to add several cinemachine cameras for it to work or something?

or like what changes between singleplayer and multiplayer with it?

[vivid cedar]

online multiplayer or local multiplayer?

[potent moss]

online

[vivid cedar]

online it doesn';t matter

you should only have cameras for your local playeer

the fact there are other players in the game is irrelevant

Now yes you can't just naively put cameras on the player prefab

but aside from that, there's nothing special going on

[potent moss]

well what are you supposed to do then?

[vivid cedar]

attach the camera at runtime to the local player

or disable/destroy it on all non local players

either of those will work

[willow goblet]

How long should the tutorials be?

I was wondering how I can make a rolling number counter. Any ideas? Can't seem to find any videos about it either.

[pearl oyster]

Two variables, the other is the current value that's shown to the player and the other is the actual, target value. Move the current value towards the target value at the speed you want. The rolling motion of the numbers in that video is likely a pre-rendered animation

[daring birch]

where i can search people to make game?

[potent moss]

[plain dagger]

With cinemachine you can change the follow target in code very easily

[tawny quail]

First method that came to mind: take your final number, split into its digits then have a column, per digit, of your numbers that repeats vertically, and scroll the uv to reach the given digit (larger than 9 can be a multiplier of the final uv to make it go zoom). Then to get the "bump" it could be a simple ease-out tween of the uv scroll as it finishes.

The highest priority camera that is active is what's used. You can disable cameras or change priority and cinemachine swaps automatically

With no disrespect if you don't understand the vibe here you might need to review some more basic c# tutorials

[golden wraith]

bro, every time I tab out my project.

[somber spire]

how would you guys generate trees, grass or other environmental assets in a procedural world? im trying to figure it out but i just dont know where to start. i have a procedural terrain system working in chuks generated as needed based on fracctal noise but i dont kkoww howw i sould go on from there

[copper gust]

Depends on the type of stuff you want

A lot of games have stuff as handcrafted (or mostly handcrafted) templates (eg. Minecraft’s trees, dungeons, villager houses)

[gray frigate]

A common idea is to randomly generate a few parameters (e.g. "moisture" and "temperature")

You can use those to decide how densely to scatter props

[somber spire]

yeah ikik thats not what i mean itts more about instantiating this stuff

[somber spire]

im struggling with spawning them randomly right now tbh

[gray frigate]

A simple approach would be "rejection sampling"

Pick a completely random point and check if any trees are too close

if not, put a tree there

[somber spire]

okay ill try that!

[gray frigate]

I use physics queries to do that for one of my procedural generation systems

since I have lots of different kinds of things being placed

[copper gust]

There’s a lot you can read up on but the general vibe is randomly getting a bunch of places in your area, seeing which ones could spawn the stuff you want, then randomly choosing some to spawn based on values like density or variety that you can tweak

[gray frigate]

Another great option is something called Poisson disk sampling

It gives you roughly evenly spaced points

https://github.com/SebLague/Poisson-Disc-Sampling/blob/master/Poisson Disc Sampling E01/PoissonDiscSampling.cs

this is a pretty simple implementation

[somber spire]

sebastian lague is really cooking

[gray frigate]

You could combine this with a random chance to accept the tree based on moisture

and also reject most trees on steep slopes

[somber spire]

yeah seems good thank you

[stuck halo]

somehow out of nowhere today I started getting this popup even though I didn't change anything with version control and google doesn't have any valid answers, my unity is now stuck in an endless loop of this popup appearing as soon as I eradicate its predecessor, did anyone else get it and has a solution?

[somber spire]

how would i do that without causing massive lag because i have to check a whole array off vector3s before placing every single tree?

[potent moss]

Does anyone maybe know why _camera returns null here --> https://blazebin.io/vpsreoeicson/0 ?

[pearl oyster]

It doesn't even reach that part. IsLocalPlayer is false

This must be the tenth time but #💻┃code-beginner for code questions

[gray frigate]

For a large enough number of trees, you might use a physics query to look for existing trees.

But yeah, it'll get slow as you add more trees

that's where something like Poisson disc sampling really helps

[somber spire]

okay thanks

[stuck flower]

How do you know it's null

[potent moss]

wtf

[potent moss]

oh sorry king

[stuck flower]

In fact, I know it's not that _camera is false because you have a log when that is the case

and that log doesn't print

I'm looking for people who are interested in working with me on this project. I'd also love to hear from people who have relatively little experience in game development or programming, like me, so we can grow together and learn new things.

If you're interested, please get in touch. I'd prefer people who also speak German.

Speaking of Unity versions, is there a fix to the diagonal screen tearing issue in Unity 6? Seeing others complain online but not finding an answer

[plain dagger]

screen tearing is a common graphics issue

[viral hill]

what is diagonal screen tearing?

like from corner to corner?

[spring hinge]

this describes it pretty well https://discussions.unity.com/t/unity-6-in-editor-game-view-screen-tearing/1673040

this is not my video but what I am getting in all projects since downloading Unity 6 looks the exact same

[plain dagger]

the fuck that looks like a full screen quad fucking up 🤔

weird, definitely something up with that version

[spring hinge]

I made the mistake of designing a whole minigame level before finding out about this, guess I will convert it to a pre-6 version

is it game view only?

you cannot easily downgrade so make sure you have a backup/use source control

it is yeah, but annoying enough that i'd downgrade (or if not, rebuild this level in an older version)

[stable horizon]

Hey guys
im new here, is there a way to reach an expert or somebody who has some experience with rendering, URP or shader?
I was working on my 3d mobile game
I imported an asset, im not sure exactly what happend but I think I imported a shader or URP or smthing related, then all objects turned into purple
I can see the textures already assigned but the objects are still purple
Chat GPT told me to change the shader to Universal Render Pipeline and reassign the texture again
but this will take several hours since I'll be reassigning all the materials...
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this issue?

[copper gust]

have you googled the problem

[stable horizon]

yup

[copper gust]

well

[copper gust]

the answer is there

[hushed hamlet]

Hard to say without knowing more, but yeah, you ideally would want to just revert back if you can. There are built in standard to URP converters you can use but ... yeah. They work only on some materials and can break things (which is more likely if you are using imported asset packs - as you dont always know what they used for shaders). So not to be used lightly.

[nocturne barn]

Can someone please save me from this stupid jitter https://discord.com/channels/489222168727519232/1433151316107984918

ive been asking multiple times in https://discord.com/channels/489222168727519232/497874004401586176 but no one has been able to figure out why its not working ive spent 2 days trying to fix it countless tutorials but nothing works

[hushed hamlet]

Its because you are rotating the character in FixedUpdate and the camera in Update. They run at different speeds.

It looks like its your character jittering not the camera

[nocturne barn]

but in scene view everything looks fine

[shadow heron]

Like mao said look into cinemachine which would help determine if it is a camera issue. I also had this issue where it would stutter. Ever since I used cinemachine never seen those problems again.

[nocturne barn]

    private void HandleCamTransform()
    {
        Quaternion TargetRot = Quaternion.Euler(VerticalLook,HorizontalLook,0);

        transform.position = Player.position - TargetRot * Offset;
        transform.rotation = TargetRot;
        Player.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0,HorizontalLook,0);
    }

this seems to fix it? i mean i feel like i can see some stutter but it feels fine

[tepid narwhal]

why is everyone so allergic to the ai response bruh

[stuck flower]

Pink means shader error. You are using a shader that is incompatible with your chosen render pipeline. You will need to change to a supported shader

[stuck flower]

Because they suck

[copper gust]

Because AI is dogshit garbage and I have no interest in recommending it to anyone

the google results below it are the actual answer

[nocturne barn]

its to complex and im against using stuff like that i enjoy making everything myself without short cuts

[tepid narwhal]

it takes the answers from there

[stuck flower]

Earlier today I was looking for a way to do something in some library and google just straight up imagined a function to do it that doesn't exist

[copper gust]

Yeah and a good amount of the time completely butchers them or takes them from somewhere else that is outdated or bad, you can just ignore it and look at the real stuff

[hushed hamlet]

Yup. (That code) is copying the slower updating transform. Itll still jitter just a lot less often.

[shadow heron]

It's not that complex its very easy to use and it's just better than using the normal camera cause the things you can do it very useful.

[nocturne barn]

how can i remove the jitter completly

[nocturne barn]

I just dont like using stuff like that tho i cant rely on packages for everything i gotta make stuff myself so i can fix it easier and avoid future issues

[hushed hamlet]

As a temporary step, just change the characters FixedUpdate to an Update. Itll probably spin 4x faster (need to take Time.deltaTime into cpnsideration) but then at least both are on the same frame.

Also, i glanced at the code for like 2 seconds. Im just guessing. I didn't check if there was a valid reason to be rotating in FixedUpdate.

[nocturne barn]

@hushed hamlet I just tried this

Player.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(MovementHandler.MoveDirection);

But the jitter is back so im guessing it wasnt because of the update or fixed update etc

[hushed hamlet]

FixedUpdate runs much slower than Update.

[nocturne barn]

should i use late update

[hushed hamlet]

Why late update?

#💻┃unity-talk message

[nocturne barn]

i remember everyone saying late update for cam stuff

[hushed hamlet]

Camera you can do on LateUpdate but it'll still be out of sync with the other running on FixedUpdate.

[nocturne barn]

nothing i try works

i js tried this

private void Update()
{
    Vector2 RawMove = InputHandler.GetInput("Move").ReadValue<Vector2>();
    MoveInput = new Vector3(RawMove.x, 0f, RawMove.y);

if (MoveInput == Vector3.zero) return;

Quaternion CamDirection = Quaternion.Euler(0,CameraHandler.HorizontalLook,0);
MoveDirection = new Vector3(MoveInput.x, 0f, MoveInput.z).normalized;
MoveDirection = CamDirection * MoveDirection * CurrentSpeed;
}

like i tried to make the move direction and player rotation etc happen in update whilst movement is in fixed update

still has jitter

[hushed hamlet]

Why are you using FixedUpdate at all though?

[copper gust]

in the past i've had movement in fixedupdate but rotation and cam in late

[nocturne barn]

cause rigid body movement

[shadow heron]

It's not a bad thing to rely on a package lol. You've been struggling a while so that's why I said use cinemachine. Your problem will be fixed pronto

[bleak robin]

[nocturne barn]

Idk anymore nothing is working istg i was watching this tut earlier i copied what he done and i still got jitter

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXw9QhsjlME

idk what to do i feel like its not even cause of my code cause something had to have worked by now since ive tried everything like everything

[copper gust]

have you tried this

[hushed hamlet]

Ah OK, I see why you are using it then

[nocturne barn]

thats what im already doing

[copper gust]

not in the code in your thread

[nocturne barn]

how i have movement in fixed and cam in update or late update

[nocturne barn]

private void HandleCamTransform()
{
Quaternion TargetRot = Quaternion.Euler(VerticalLook,HorizontalLook,0);

    transform.position = Player.position - TargetRot * Offset;
    transform.rotation = TargetRot;
    Player.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(MovementHandler.MoveDirection);
}

The code in the thread is a lil outdated

I done this but its soooo laggy

    private void Update()
    {
        bool UsingStick = InputHandler.GetDevice() == "Gamepad" ? true : false;
        float NewSensitivy = UsingStick ? Sensitivity * GamepadSensitivity : Sensitivity;

        // Get Mouse look direction
        MousePos = InputHandler.GetInput("Look").ReadValue<Vector2>();
        HorizontalLook += MousePos.x * NewSensitivy;
        HorizontalLook = (HorizontalLook + 360) % 360; // Cap to 360

        VerticalLook -= MousePos.y * (NewSensitivy / 2);
        VerticalLook = Mathf.Clamp(VerticalLook, -MaxY, MaxY); // Limit cam vertical

        HandleCamTransform();
    }
    #endregion

    #region CAM MOVEMENT
    private void HandleCamTransform()
    {
        Quaternion TargetRot = Quaternion.Euler(VerticalLook,HorizontalLook,0);

        transform.position = Player.position - TargetRot * Offset;
        transform.rotation = TargetRot;
        Player.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(Player.rotation,Quaternion.LookRotation(MovementHandler.MoveDirection),Time.deltaTime * 10);
    }

is my lerp speed too low?

oh yep

thats why

[hushed hamlet]

I skimmed the code in your thread and it looks like they have some kind of smoothing or slow follow on the camera. I cant really help much more from my phone as id need to open Unity im afraid.

rn i've got this game i've been making since a game jam i did a while back and that was once of my first ever projects. As a second i decided to expand a lot on that project and try to make it into a polished game. But now I did another game jam and learned how to structure code a lot better in terms of future development and now adding futures to the previous game jam idea comes as boring or a little dreadful even at the thought. Should I just try to work throughout that process or would it be fine to start another project.

[viral hill]

depends on how far along you are. if you are close to finishing, i would just continue. if you arent, then you should definitely refactor your code or start fresh

I’d say from the place it’s at now it’s no where close but after the most recent game jam I could make pace on some new work and catch up easily

[outer path]

Hello

[sly lake]

Try it. It might run out of memory and switch to CPU

[outer path]

A unity beginner here

Installed it yesterday But I'm already learning C# cz I'm a computer science student
does anyone have some tips

[unreal jewel]

don't do things "just because the tutorial said so" - try to actually understand what and why they're doing

[sage shuttle]

is it ok to have a custom physics system for my game? because i really cant deal with rigid body and adding force and stuff makes my life difficult

i feel updating position and using layermasks and physics cast for collision detection makes things more consistant.

just need nudge in right direction if i am thinking in wrong way

[unreal jewel]

i mean you can if you want to

[sage shuttle]

is it good practice ? because i want to practice things that are standard
i saw a tutorial by codemonkey doing this and ever since i use it in my project for movement and stuff

[unreal jewel]

it always depends on your usecase

but it will probably be a good learning experience

[sage shuttle]

thanks for the validation

[outer path]

That I know
Thanks tho

[unreal jewel]

a lot of people don't so it's better to make sure

[gray dirge]

Good practice for what is the important question here. Using the existing physics system is the standard practice for most things but there are also things that can benefit from custom solution (such as character controllers). It all depends on what you are actually doing whether it is worth doing something custom or whether it's reinventing the wheel

[alpine void]

hello

can someone plesae help me

ill send ss wait

[outer path]

True

[alpine void]

im trying to build and run my game

but it keeps on saying this

and i checked trhough my codes and im pretty confident there fine

and i reimported my libray file and that

and it still says this

[slow dirge]

Might want to share the error details.

[alpine void]

ill send

sorry

the middle one just says that only

u want my code?

sorry im confused

[sage shuttle]

in my usecase the objects will mostly stay in water like boats barrels and other tit bits

the physics doesnt have to be realistic in anyway but should feel realistic
as far as i can think drag, collision and buoyancy will be the only things ill be caring about

[slow dirge]

No. Share the error details using code sharing guidelines.

[alpine void]

ok

https://paste.mod.gg/oalzbrwczlwo/0

[pearl oyster]

My eagle eyes spy that you have warnings switched off. You need to include those as well

[alpine void]

https://paste.mod.gg/itxlonyqjejo/0

[alpine void]

i sent

[slow dirge]

Can you share the warnings as well, just like Nitku mentioned.

It seems like unity api updater is choking on some library.

[alpine void]

how do i see those

like i think ive hidden them but i dont know how to find them again

[slow dirge]

That's why you should not cut/crop screenshots.

Take a screenshot of the whole console tab

Or even editor window

[alpine void]

here

this is the ss of the whole thing

but i still dont know if i have any warnings like

how do i show them

[slow dirge]

See the button at the top right of the console tab?

[alpine void]

yes

the three dot

[slow dirge]

On seems to be untoggled

Not dots. Below them.

[alpine void]

these

i thnk i did it

the warnings became not greyed out

but i still catn see any yellow

[slow dirge]

Now run build again.

[alpine void]

i did

this is what it said

[slow dirge]

Though perhaps there weren't any.

[alpine void]

there was once again no yellow

wiat

but the other two disaperred

[slow dirge]

OK, great.
Tet restarting the editor and see if there are.

[slow dirge]

They seem to just have been updated. Look at the timestamps.

[alpine void]

By restarting editor

U mean restarting the whole like

Close and reopen?

[slow dirge]

Yes

If there are no warnings or other errors still, then next step would be to look at the logs.

Just copy the pass from the bot message into your address bar in explorer and press enter.

[gray dirge]

Boat physics isn't trivial to get right either way you choose. The point where you would really want to have the physics system back you up is if you want the boats to collide with each other or/and the shore. Coding those interactions yourself is going to be hard if that is required. My first though would be to use AddForceAtPosition on couple points on the underside of the boat to add upwards force based on some boyancy factor (how deep the point is underwater or similar) and use GetPointVelocity to add damping/water resistance. You also would probably want to set the center of mass quite low, likely below the surface to provide some stability which otherwise would have to come directly from the shape of the boat body (which can be hard to simulate). To get the physics realistic, you would have to do something like this anyways and having the physics system helping you to get angular velocities and inertias right is useful. You can do all of that yourself without the physics system but that requires quite much knowledge on basic physics concepts

[slow dirge]

[slow dirge]

Yes. I'm a bit busy now. I'll look in a bit.

[alpine void]

ok thank you

[slow dirge]

I'd assume it's library corruption.
One pussible culprit is that your project is stored in the users(desktop) ditectory:
C:/Users/todd/Desktop/My project (7)

Try moving it somewhere like the root of a disk, delete library and let it regenerate. Pay attention to warnings and errors immediately after that if there are any.
If there are none, try building.
@alpine void

[alpine void]

ok

[alpine void]

let me try that

[alpine void]

when i re opened the project, i saw 7 warnings and 1 red ones,

1st warning: https://paste.mod.gg/mhmfkvgqfess/0

2nd warning: https://paste.mod.gg/idxohdholeny/0

3rd warning: https://paste.mod.gg/tfpxuwtouhhj/0

7th warning: https://paste.mod.gg/cvwfosevchid/0

red one:https://paste.mod.gg/pkljbyjfnrgr/0

then after this when i tried to build it said the same 3 red ones from before

[hushed hamlet]

This is the only part that is important:

Problem detected while importing the Prefab file: 'Assets/3rdParty/Virtence/VText/_DemoScene/Prefabs/ParticleText.prefab'.

[alpine void]

ok

what

doeds that...

[hushed hamlet]

It is saying that something called Star inside that prefab is missing or deleted.

[alpine void]

ill try and find it in file

[hushed hamlet]

Id start by trying to open the prefab and/or reverting to a working copy of it.

[alpine void]

i found it

[hushed hamlet]

Yup so it is saying that prefab is broken and needs to be fixed.

[alpine void]

r these prefabs

from what?

because i have my friends level in here as well

[hushed hamlet]

I dunno its not my project

[alpine void]

and i was trying to connect them toghet, but long story short

i dont need it anymore

and i havent seen this before so cant i delete it?

but im not sure if unity just makes these random things when u make things

but it does say prefab so isnt that mean you got it fromanother source

[hushed hamlet]

This is in a folder called third party and vtext and demo so id assume its from a third party plugin called vtext as a part of their demo scene.

[alpine void]

based off my memeory i do not remmber downloading anything called v text

so i am going to assume that its part of my friends level (dont need it anymore) and ill try and delete it

is it fine?

like to delete would it solve the problem right

[hushed hamlet]

I dont know why its in your project

[alpine void]

if that were to be true (what i said)

deleteing it would work right?

i just want to ask

[hushed hamlet]

Personally id delete it

[alpine void]

so it wont cause any other harm

ok

[hushed hamlet]

Or fix it

You can always back it up or use something like git to make it less risky to delete and modify things

[alpine void]

it did nothing

its sitll not working

omg this is doing my head in

[hushed hamlet]

Yeah i dont think thats related to your build error though

[alpine void]

yeah

my build thing legit worked

like 3 days ago

and now its just messed up

but why didnt it say then yk

hi dlinch...

still goin ghard

[slow dirge]

None of it seems related to library corruption. Can you share an editor log again right after the build?

[hushed hamlet]

You can try
Assets > Reimport All > Yes

https://discussions.unity.com/t/system-badimageformatexception-format-of-the-executable-exe-or-library-dll-is-invalid/1497552/4

[alpine void]

i was thinking this, but if this goes wrong then like my whole project which is due tomorrow is gone

is it trust worthly

[alpine void]

ok

does it automatically update

[alpine void]

oh

by pressing save?

[hushed hamlet]

Like copy the project, or zip the folder, or use git to manage the code

[alpine void]

sorry may i ask how?

[hushed hamlet]

To zip a folder in Windows, right-click the folder or the files you want to include, hover over "Send to," and then select "Compressed (zipped) folder".

[slow dirge]

reimporting is basically the same as deleting library. Though perhaps it might work since the timing is different. Worth a try I guess.

[alpine void]

ok and if i do this

if something go wrong

i just open this zip file

and my project is back

[slow dirge]

Ideally you should probably be using version control.

If you need a manual backup, you can just copy the project into a different folder. No need to archive it.

[alpine void]

but if the assets were to all disapear

wouldnt it affect that folder as well

[slow dirge]

why..? How?

quantum entanglement?

How can modifying one project affect a copy of it in any way?

[alpine void]

ig

im doin git now

wish me luck

sorry

[slow dirge]

Yeah, you should be doing git honestly

[hushed hamlet]

If the projects important to you, you need to have a system for storing and backing it up. Or you risk losing it at some point

[alpine void]

what is git

also i think ill just record it

cause this is for a school project btw

💀

[alpine void]

oh sorry

i meant im doing IT now

not doin git

... i dont know git

[tall hearth]

Cause obviously the only way to "copy" a folder is by making a shortcut to that folder

[alpine void]

bro im so stressed out

like why is this taking so long

i need to do my portfolio as well and its already 11pm

[tall hearth]

You copying the whole project folder or just the asset folder?

[alpine void]

wdym

i meant like this whole process

to just export this game

[tall hearth]

Oh must have a slow pc then...

[alpine void]

why is l!ke banned word..

no

like this whole thing

im stuck

its not working, the PROCESS is taking ages

[slow dirge]

Gamedev is complicated. It's one of the most complex fields in software engineering.

does anyone here maybe know anything about this?

[alpine void]

nope

[slow dirge]

you can do both, like me

[alpine void]

yo urs game so fun

i love it

im kinda bad at it tho

also i shouldnt be playing it and should do my word instead

[alpine void]

no i can not bro..

[potent moss]

isn't that what I'm doing here --> https://blazebin.io/volrmnaiyvds/0 though or like why is the host still hogging the camera?

[plain dagger]

If this was me id spawn the player and setup the camera myself because doing it this way (where this script finds the camera post spawn) is unreliable

As long as the player is owned by them it should work just fine

anyway trying to check and find dependencies in Update/FIxedUpdate is bad too

[nocturne remnant]

Hey,
A question, In a 2d platformer game I want to make a system so that we can have multiple weapons.
I am confused, what's the way people do it? make 2d animated sprites for player with every weapon?
make generic sprites like player with empty hand swinging sword and we animate the sword?

[potent geyser]

Solely depends on your art style

[nocturne remnant]

I cant draw, I am using free sprites from itch.

[potent geyser]

If you want weapons to look absolutely perfectly correct when held, then it's a unique character sprite + animation for each weapon.

If you want to go the effecient way, then you float the weapon on the player at a point.

[nocturne remnant]

So then i just get some animated weapons and attach them to player hand ?

also in 2d since I dont have armature, its sprites

[potent geyser]

You use an empty game object as the pivot point of the weapon, and put it there as a child.

[nocturne remnant]

oh okay. thank you.

I will wishlist JollyRoll

When I add this Area Light, by default there's no light (pink/purple in this case). It's visible only after baking. I wonder if it's normal for area lights.

Also, the tutorial says:

Set the Range, Intensity, and Indirect Multiplier properties. For now, try making your Area Light a bright light with a large range so you can evaluate the impact that it makes on the scene. You can use the guidance gizmo in the Scene view to help you observe the impact as you adjust these properties.

I don't understand what is this "guidance gizmo".

[potent geyser]

If you're not using HDRP, then yes, area lights are bake only.

[gray frigate]

oh neat, i didn't know that the HDRP Lit shader had realtime area light support

[azure grove]

did not know that either though prolly will never use it

it does warn you in the component

[jaunty pier]

woops wrong channel

[arctic portal]

i applied the transform of my wheel in blender. so the transform of the wheel is messed up in unity too. it says 0,0,0 even though the position is not actually that. what can i do to fix this?

[exotic relic]

Create a empty gameobject and put the wheel as a child of it, then move the wheel to the offset you need

Zero out a parent then zero out the wheel so you now have an object that is center. something like that.

Or create that offset in blender. There’s not a way to move a pivot point in unity

[stuck halo]

bump, I'm organization owner and I'm logged in from my account but unity claims I don't even have a permission to breathe and I can't commit my changes and thus I'm blocking the work of other people

[lethal kite]

hey, i have a question about unity licence. i have a free licence unity and i work for a company and now they will give me a seat at their org so that i can publish a game. am i gonna get banned? because some devs got banned for it? where i can learn more about this user policy?

because i read on reddit and on other places that some people got banned for this

[icy dagger]

yo i literally just started learning unity and the video that im currently watching is a video about remaking flappy bird. and i added my 2d empty object and named it "bird" then used sprite renderer so i could add the sprite. then when i hit the play button it just flies up for some reason. then i added the rigbody 2d so it wouldn't then it just freezed without moving. btw i use an older version of unity cause idk.

[pearl oyster]

Did you accidentally add a rigidbody to the camera

[sweet charm]

Sounds like it

@icy dagger

[icy dagger]

wait lemme see

damn

yeah that was it

thanks man

As stated already, Area lights are usually baked only and this is explicitly said in the UI

[rigid jetty]

Hi guys, im new to unity and there are plenty of versions and im a bit lost, what version i should download for pubblishing assets pack?

[potent geyser]

Start with just taking the latest LTS version shown in Unity Hub.

[rigid jetty]

unity 6? not 6.2?

[potent geyser]

Correct

If you're creating things for the store, you want to start with supporting the LTS version.

If you're just planning on doing art packs, then you can easily test on the latest non-LTS and earlier versions to verify it works. But if you're dealing with things that involve code, you at least want to start with the LTS as your baseline.

[pearl oyster]

Ideally you'd test the asset on multiple editor versions to make sure it works. But if it's just art assets it doesn't really matter which version you use

[rigid jetty]

no no just art packs

[rigid jetty]

oh i see thank you guys

[shrewd geyser]

is it normal that I have to push light to intensity 45 or even 100 to light-up a night scene?

[potent geyser]

Is your scene just really large in terms of scale? If you make a default cube in Unity, is it proportional to everything in your scene?

Also what kind of light are you using here?

[shrewd geyser]

it's an point light.

[strong fable]

does write default in the animator mean if the property isnt keyframed it will be set to the default value and not what a previous clip might have set it to? and if yes why doesnt this work with the active state of gameobjects?

[gray frigate]

If a previous layer is actively controlling the property, then you should still see it, even if Write Defaults is enabled on the later layer's state

(this is probably why mixing WD On and WD Off is wonky)

I create all of my animators with WD On, and I was mildly surprised by that behavior!

[amber walrus]

I'm trying to select the folder for OpenJDK17 (required for Android API 35) in Unity 2022.3.44f1. However, I'm getting an error that this version is not supported.

The point is that in a forum article, the Unity staff says that 2022.3.44f1 normally supports API 35.

The paradox is that this version of Unity does not support OpenJDK17.

[prime osprey]

okay, got the ancient 3.5.6f4 also compiling for the original wii

[copper gust]

neat but i dont know how much of that you can show off here 😛

[prime osprey]

yeah, it's more for the curiosity than anything else

[amber walrus]

The Big Paradox:

• Staff: The 2022.3.44f1 builds API 35 normally

• Unity: Only OpenJDK11 is supported

• Gradle: OpenJDK17 is required for building API 35

I dont know who i should believe.

[nocturne barn]

still tryna fix my cam jitter 😭 its day 3

[marble turret]

Maybe the Rigidbody3D component has something wrong in it, or maybe the hitboxes are wrong or smth.

[plain dagger]

If you are referring to how the rigidbody rotation isnt matching input then we can presume its due to when rotation of that and the cam happen being different.

[nocturne barn]

I have a cube infront of the player thats jittering too

[viral hill]

looks like interpolation is being broken

[nocturne barn]

I feel like its the cam not updating fast enough how could i fix it

[nocturne barn]

wdym

[plain dagger]

How do you update the camera rotation? How is the rigid body rotated?

[viral hill]

interpolation is the smoothing of movement between 2 points in space. if you break interpolation, it will be jittery

[nocturne barn]

        Quaternion TargetRot = Quaternion.Euler(VerticalLook,HorizontalLook,0);

        CamHolder.position = Player.position - TargetRot * Offset;

        CamHolder.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, HorizontalLook, 0f);
        Pivot.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(VerticalLook, 0f, 0f);

[nocturne barn]

So how do i fix it ive tried everything like changing updates calculations etc

Incase i suck at explaining my full code is here https://discord.com/channels/489222168727519232/1433151316107984918

[gray frigate]

The URP uses inverse-square light falloff. This means that doubling the distance from a light cuts its power by a factor of four.

So, if you want to light up a large area, you need an intense light.

Street lights are very bright! That part makes sense.

it also looks like a lot of your surfaces are very dark

notice how intensely lit the yellow stripe is

[gray frigate]

the BiRP uses a much gentler falloff curve. This makes it esay to light up large areas with single lights, but also means that lights aren't very..."punchy"

[small zodiac]

hi

hi

[muted heath]

hi all, anyone with experience using UTS (Unity Toon Shader)?

i cant see outline settings on my inspector

[pure igloo]

is there a way to share your projects with someone else so that they can work on it too?

[lapis gate]

github

[pure igloo]

but, do the hierarchy copy themselves too?

[lapis gate]

prefab/scene can be shared yes

[copper gust]

github repos share the files directly

[pure igloo]

O_O damn that's noice

btw, here's my first sprite

[lapis gate]

still, it's not easy to merge together scene data

[pure igloo]

so...like the person will have to setup the components and stuff themselves or smth?

[lapis gate]

you wouldn't be able to modify a scene until they submitted their changes and passed it back

otherwise the file implodes

[pure igloo]

implodes as in...wait what. I do know that two people shouldn't be working on the same file together. is that what you mean to say?

[lapis gate]

you work together in a sense that you take turns modifying it

active changes by multiple users trying to submit their changes will result in a merge conflict and you'll not be having fun when fixing that serialized data manually

[pure igloo]

damn...

[lapis gate]

usually git is good at trying to resolve these issues, but this type of data does not resolve at all

[pure igloo]

so work on stuff locally and only if the other person commits, do your commits also?

[lapis gate]

git is more likely to mend conflicts if both of you submitted changes to a custom script

[pure igloo]

welp, gotta find out the hard way then

[lapis gate]

Yeah, it's not as easy as one might think. Like hey we can just edit these scenes cooperatively! But in reality you tell your friend they better not be touching any of your scenes

[pure igloo]

so...the other person has to work on something completely diff...

[plain dagger]

Using more prefabs in scenes helps but yea its very hard if a scene gets a merge conflict

[lapis gate]

other person can be building those prefabs to use so you can place them on your scene, but you do not modify those prefabs at the root, only the local data

[pure igloo]

btw, what do you guys mean by scene?

[lapis gate]

or what I like to do, make a variant or dupe

[plain dagger]

e.g. a house prefab. The house prefab is placed in the scene and someone else edits the house prefab.

[muted heath]

nevermind, i figured it out, for the outline settings to show up you need to turn off transparency

[lapis gate]

well, something to google as you should know that if you're jumping into unity. Either case you treat them similar to prefabs as technically they are just that, one gigantic prefab

[pure igloo]

ahhh aight

[stuck flower]

The thing labeled "Scene"

[mild radish]

Level prefab

[lapis gate]

All you really need is one scene anyway

[pure igloo]

oh wait, the scene is the thing which the things are displayed

then smaller level prefabs

[copper gust]

ehhhh that really depends

[lapis gate]

If you want to lazy load/deload ok multiple scenes are nice

but I like control

[copper gust]

beginners don't need to worry about it but memory management has considerations when using scenes vs. prefabs

[plain dagger]

nah whatever is in a scene is saved in there so it makes no difference in that respect

If the prefab asset is kept in the build and then loaded... thats different and mostly un related

at runtime the concept of a prefab instance is gone

Whats the point of git instead of girhub desktop i dont have too much experience but desktop feels easier

[copper gust]

github desktop is a way to interact with git

[fickle lily]

whats the best way to make this type of movement

[copper gust]

Correct me if im mistaken but if you have a list of scenes for levels the content associated with the scenes will only be loaded into memory when the scene is loaded, but if you have a list of prefabs for levels all those prefabs are going to be loaded into memory when that list is loaded into memory (by default anyway)

any character controller + cinemachine + a ton of motion blur to vomit from

cinemachine also provides stuff like the headbob

[plain dagger]

Yea that is right. I was referring to prefab instances already saved into a scene vs generic gameobjects in the scene.

[fickle lily]

yea but cinemachines headbob is too much i believe

i realized the moving camera around is choppy a little

@copper gust i am assuming that this is the way to do it? thing is, it shows that this thing is greater than 100MB when i push this

is this normal?

[balmy kettle]

make sure you are using the unity .gitignore file so you only commit the useful stuff (Assets, Packages, and ProjectSettings)

[pure igloo]

oh i did not do that. aight

[balmy kettle]

https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Unity.gitignore

[plain dagger]

if you already comitted Library/ and THEN added the git ignore then it will remain tracked (bad times)
you would have to untrack the assets which i doubt github desktop will have support for

[pure igloo]

i thought it was abnormal to have so many files being pushed, so i did not do it

[plain dagger]

good you did double check then

[pure igloo]

this looks way better

oh nvm, ima get rid of assets which aren't needed

64 files changed, way better

thanks guys
